As for Ever the Lotus, I have been going over it and editing it, and so I am actively working on it. I'm hoping to get it finished next after I finish off Nefarious - which should be soon, since I only have a few chapters left and I already sent the next chapter to Tru to look over for me. As soon as she gets it back to me I will post it.

I'm glad you have enjoyed Nefarious so much, and I hope you like my next Sess/Kag as much - it will be a modern-day A/U with a lot of angst.

Thanks for all your faithful reviews - they are appreciated!

*smirk*
Your review on the Hime Tradition is much much much appreciated! I found it so interesting to see your thoughts on how Kagome's poisoned blood and the seal on Tenseiga might go~
Very interesting and creative! No spoilersss~ I can only say that there are many plot twists to come.
And phew~ glad I pulled off Kura's surprising re-entrance.
Thank you so much!

That is okay! I am just glad you havent stopped reading! *phew*
I am glad you liked the chapter. And I must say...you were the closest to guessing the relationship between inari/inuyasha. Hehe
The maid was definitely keeping tabs on inuyasha for Inari.
And yaaa....sesshomaru will definitely be too happy to focus hahahaa

Ahhhh~ loved your review! Loved it!
You can totally see that love makes one blind in this chapter. And of course, our heroine has her flaws which is stubbornness. I didn't wish to make Kagome too perfect in this story, so she does need to make some wrong choices.
I was really interested in your opinion of the "leaders" that might be behind Inuyasha's assassin. Once again...I like to keep my twists and turns a secret. teehee.
And I can't wait to show you how this story will unravel.
Thank you once again for your review!

Hm~ yes, I must say... your review from before where you pointed out that Inukimi should find out about the promise convinced me to take this route. But, we shall see where I take things from here~ You've once again suggested wonderful possibilities...but don't forget~ I like to take twists and turns. It would be too boring if I let the lovely couple off so easily. *evil laughter*
Can't wait to share the next chapter!
Thank you so much for....everything!

I love how your mind works *laughs* It's brilliant, so intelligent! You definitely caught onto Sesshomaru's reason for not stepping in to assist Inuyasha. I hinted it out a lot.. but I don't believe most of the readers caught onto it. Anyways, we shall see how Kagome reacts to this.
Inukimi...she has other plans for Kagome...but I wonder if you think she will hate Kagome or not. But, she has just made her entrance, so it's a bit hard for readers to understand how I will use her character.
And lastly, the point about Emiko!!! *laughs* You caught onto the minor details...but I won't give out any spoilers....I don't want anyone to find out who Inuyasha's love interest will be.
Thanks for another spectacular review!

~blushes~ I'm so honored that I was missed! Thank you so much for your sweet words. As for Sesshoumaru, no, he hasn't forgotten about his stupid words but he's just decided to let his actions speak for him since she didn't want to hear his words. Don't worry - it'll all work out. And I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Shippo situation yet, so we'll have to see.

Thank you again for the beautiful review, and have an awesome Saturday!

YESSSS!!! YEESSSSS!!!!!! Spot on! Spot onnn! With Sesshomaru paying attention to Kagome and remembering her favourite flowers! With Rin's loneliness and Sesshomaru knowing this but doesn't have anyone else to trust. With Sesshomaru now accepting his gradual care for Kagome! WITH SESSHOMARU WANTING TO BE SEEN AS A MAN BY KAGOME!!! My goodness, you caught onto my very point I tried to portray through this chapter! I was just squealing the whole time as I read through your review! *giggles*
Thank you once again for sharing your brilliant thoughts! Now, to the drama in the next chapter then... hehe

I'm so glad you enjoyed the latest chapter of "The HIme Tradition"!
You've definitely noticed the advance in their relationship. I love how you always catch onto their subtle behaviors...like Sesshomaru's cold actions to back away from Kagome, and Kagome not noticing that he's moved past her defenses.
Also, your worries for Inuyasha...hmm....won't spoil anything yet
But no need to worry
Your reviews are always cherished! Thank you!

I don't think I'll stop being amazed by your reviews. First, I'd like to say that you totally captured the 'Sho' leader's character, wisdom, and fairness! And of course I will add in information as to why and how Ryou fell in love with Kura. Oh~ I can't wait to share!
Secondly, the very fact that you went back to previous chapters to hint on Kura or Lady Inari being the evil character...*applaud* But I can't tell you anything yet. But you are the only one that seems to have caught on that there is more to the 'trap' than meets the eye.
Thirdly, on FF.net you commented on Sesshomaru's actions. That will be revealed in the next chapter. But by the looks of it, you totally understand how Sesshomaru acts (or would act in this story).
*standing ovation*
Can't wait to reveal the next chapter.
Thanks for your awesome reviews.
